Afterschool

Independent film "Afterschool" Starring "We need to talk about Kevin." Lead Ezra Miller is quite 
strange as it doesn't follow the conventions of atitle sequence at all. It doesn't mention Actors, 
director, producers at all and doesn't contain an Ident at the start. 
It's simply made up the title of the film accompanied with the crying and screaming of two teenage
 girls in the background with is relevant later on through the film and goes on to show homemade/
internet videos starting with him as a baby where he appears to be cheerful leading into more graphic 
and violent video's and ending with a pornographic video.
It's lack of tradition gives the film an edge to it
 which creates a great deal of tension. 
It is a rather brave move however it does seem 
to be effective. It does however follow the typical
 white text on black background which is a common
conventions of a thriller film.
